    What are Frankel's best prospects for top quality 3YO races this season?

    There haven't been many to catch my eye but I think Suphala is well regarded by Andre Fabre.

    Only 10th on her debut at Deauville but the Prix Marettes is a contest for unraced fillies that usually attracts entrants from the top trainers and sometimes throws up useful talent.

    Suphala won her next race, a maiden over 1 mile at Chantilly and she showed a nice turn of foot that day to win in promising style. Kept to moderate company on her third start in a Conditions race back at the Chantilly mile, she made all and held off Jean-Claude Rouget's Commes with a bit to spare. Commes had won her only previous start in promising style herself and was narrowly favourite for the race, while a well bred Freddie Head filly was third, getting 6 lbs from the previous winners.

    The Racing Post have only rated Suphala 92 for now but I think she is a lot better than that and in a year where classy French fillies are thin on the ground I feel she may be the one to emerge as a French Guineas candidate. She is entered in the Newmarket 1000 Guineas and Fabre's patience can be rewarded with a win in one of the Spring trials.

    Our own 1000 Guineas is wide open this season and Suphala may well turn up if she has trained on. 25/1 is the odds of reward for Newmarket and she is the one I feel may give Frankel a boost from the maiden winners and into the big time.

    I think East is a live prospect if she's trained on, only beaten by an exceptional filly in her last race, had previously won comfortably in a Group 2 in France. She is entered in both English and Irish 1000gns.

    Yes. Having seen her last win I had to nap her in the Sat Comp. Decent price really. Expected odds on

    Crikey, that one on the outside was travelling some and was in front a stride past the post. I don't think she saw that one coming

    Nice runs from Call The Wind and Without Parole in Dubai on Saturday. Hopefully they can both progress this year.

    So, I’m back and aiming to be a more regular contributor to the forum again! Life with 2 small children is more hectic than I could ever have imagined, but worth it!

    So here we go, the Flat season proper is with us so I’m going to try and post up the entries for Frankel’s runners as I did last year on a regular basis, but bear with me at times!

    Glad to hear everything is well Princess - once you're through the dirty nappies stage it's a breeze <ok>

    How old are they know? Must be about 4 and nearly 2?

    These are the Classic entries held by Frankel’s at the moment. I’m hoping that EAST trains on as I know she was very well though of last year.
